Find a Local Tutor Who Gets It

I am an excellent tutor due to that I believe that knowledge is the key, and as long as we have knowledge we are able to achieve anything we put our minds to. I am willing to work with any student and to keep helping a student until they are confident that they are able to solve problems on their own. I am open to use different teaching techniques to get students to understand the material because not all students learn the same. I have tutored students when I worked as an instructional assistant after school program where we had to tutor students and help students in middle school with homework and projects for an hour and a half each day and as well come up with educational activities for the children to participate in. As well I was a student athlete tutor where I tutored athletes of all age from middle school up to junior year in college.

I would be a good tutor, not just because I am knowledgeable, but also because I am studying to become a teacher. This opportunity would get me the hands-on experience I need to better my teaching abilities. I also currently work at a preschool and there are multiple children attending that have IEPs or 504 plans, so I am both familiar and comfortable working with kids who have troubles with school and learning. I already have a set schedule at the preschool I currently work at so reliability is not a problem! I believe that, through this program, I will be able to help kids understand their work, but also learn to love it and that's why I am a good tutor.

I am an educated professional with experience in relationship building and customer-centric roles including: child care services, recruiting and hospitality. I possess excellent interpersonal skills complement strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail. I am extremely reliable and dependable and have a passion for teaching and the field of education.I have just recently completed a four month tutoring experience through one of my pre-req courses at California State University San Marcos. I worked one-on-one with a foster youth student in the fourth grade.

I have always enjoyed teaching and learning. One of the most rewarding aspects of my Master's program was the opportunity to instruct multiple freshman chemistry laboratories and discussion sections. It's a wonderful feeling to see the light bulb of understanding over a student's head. Usually all I had to do was present the concept in one or two different ways in order to elucidate comprehension of the subject matter being covered. I excelled in math, science, and Spanish in High School (winning an award senior year in each area) and went on to major in Chemistry in college with a double major in Spanish and then continued my education with a Master's in Chemistry. I am very motivated to build my teaching / tutoring skills. My former professors, supervisors and co-workers would describe me as responsible, bright, hard-working, detail-oriented, energetic, considerate, calm and cheerful.

I've tutored calculus in the past to an adult in a continuing education class. I've also worked with grade-school students, including a 6th grader who had ADHD. He was struggling in math, and I helped him improve his grade. Whatever I teach, I teach well. I have a natural ability to approach a subject from many different angles to suit the student's ability to learn. Conveying basic concepts in order to understand the big picture is critical. Everyone learns a little differently, and being able to relate/communicate is key.

I'm very patient with kids and have experience working with high school students due to my current job working as a Recreation Leader. Though I'm still in college learning myself, I've learned how to form study groups and enjoy working with others in order to teach through my perspective and gain new perspective from others. I feel a great sense of accomplishment through helping others understand material because not only does it help them understand, but it reaffirms my skills as well. It helps me to solidify my knowledge in my own head while explaining how to do certain problems. It's a great feeling to empower others with the knowledge I already have. Helping others to sharpen up their skills is challenging, but rewarding.

I currently tutor privately in both music performance and English. I also have extensive experience working with students of all ages in the school environment due to my past job experiences. In addition I am a Presidential scholar with a 4.0 gpa last semester.

My teaching method is simple for making people understand STEM subjects: teach the underlying concept and then show that everything extends from the concept as an application. This is a common theme.And then from there, I give problems to the people I tutor to help them understand the material on their own. This gives the client a chance to really make the material second nature.
